[QUOTE="pav, post: 373882, member: 58100"] The finest lancets are the BD ultra fine, with the needle at only 0.2 mm dia while others are around 0.3 mm, which I think are around £6.50 a hundred. Most lancing devices have variable depth penetration, with a couple having variable strike force, not sure how much these are but a guess up to £7. There are a few odd ball devices that don't take the standard run or the mill lancets. Don't prick the pads of the fingers as they are pretty sensitive, though every one will feel the pin pricks differently try pricking yourself first to see what its like and see where its the least sensitive.
